How many cameras does a typical warehouse need?

Depends on layout. A small 10,000 sq ft warehouse with 4 dock doors usually runs 12–16 cameras. A 50,000+ sq ft DC with multiple zones, yard, and gates often runs 32–64 cameras. We walk the site and design coverage zone by zone.

Can we cover the yard and gate as well?

Yes. We use weather-rated bullet cameras for fence lines and PTZ cameras for yards and gates. For gate identification we add closer fixed cameras at the entrance to capture vehicles and license plates clearly.

How long is warehouse footage stored?

Most warehouse clients want 30–90 days of retention. We size the NVR storage during scoping based on camera count, resolution, and frame rate — not as an afterthought.

Do you install cameras while the warehouse is operating?

Yes. We coordinate around forklift and shift schedules so we're not in the way of operations. For overhead cable runs we use lifts and stage work outside of peak hours.

Will the NVR survive in a non-climate-controlled space?

NVRs need a clean, climate-controlled IT closet or office space. We install them in a server room, IT closet, or rack — not in the warehouse environment itself.
